Players De Noc's Show Chicago in Escanaba was a Big Hit! Tourism Possibilities? (Arts and Theater)

The other day the wind was whipping, and the snow was gusting, but the crowd still came. Rain, ice, and blizzards can't keep the community away! It was hard to find tickets and they have been putting on the show for a couple of weeks. I found a single seat over in the corner that wasn't taken. I actually needed to look at four nights to find something not sold out.

The cast did well, the music was good, and the crowds kept coming. The theme was a fun one based on a lady who went to prison for killing her lover and much of the story takes place in a prison. A little risky and fun so be prepared. Old fashion theater at its best! Players de Noc Theater

Considering back in the day I was pretty big into theater, acting and other stuff I would say they are doing better than most for-profit theaters. They have a large following. I started acting in places like this. I'm thinking of showing up for an audition one of these days and see how it goes. Ummmm that means a few months commitment in one place, but I think I can do it! I have engaged in painting, photography, dance, poetry/writing and occasional acting so its a fun outlet.

Theater is also good for tourism. People who come into town want to find fun things to do. They may have a great meal at Herford & Hopps, Ludington Grill, or Cat Man Dos . I'm not sure if it will get better than that. Sharing the information publicly with hotels and other visitor outlets where tourists frequent might foster a tourism and arts connection (a number of good art galleries around). Also, I have seen a few publications on arts tourism so one might consider putting a piece in aigned demographic readership for city advertisement.

A few good articles on tourism and theater.
